joo2018:It is common sense really, but there are indeed Nigerian PRs that have been convicted for DUIs. It's a serious criminal offence in North America. How can one even pass a job background check with a dui conviction? I do not know. Never want to be in such situation. Another offence that new immigrants might not be aware of is that it is a crime to patronize oloshos. Police often set up sting operations. i.e They put up advert on the internet and classified webpages to catch people. The rules here is interesting because selling olosho services itself is not a crime, but patronizing one is, so the girls are let go. Different types of convictions would often lead to either deportation or denial of citizenship. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4054882 15 Likes 2 Shares |

deTimo:[q uote author=Tojued post=73238474] Jumia is far. Stroll down to the big grocery store close to your house and make friends there. Even better if you have a particular customer you've been shopping with (shop or market). They'll be more than happy to dash or sell you cartons. Except you particularly don't want used/grocery cartons sha. Cc newmum0615[/quote] |

rukaiya: We used KLM and they didn’t even ask us for fit to fly; probably seeing our condition, they even had to clear two extra seats for us by relocating the passengers there to another place so we had four seats to ourselves with my little daughter. I only paid for two. 8 Likes |

Ambidextrause: Yes - I actually applied when I was in Nigeria with my COPR. My application without COPR was sufficient enough for UK visa refusal. However, I got 6 months. |

Hello everyone, welldone for your great contributions. I just got my PPR, so I am officially welcoming my self here although I have been reading for a while now. I am an accountant and will be converting my ACCA to CPA before I leave Nigeria. My husband works in a multinational company in Nigeria as a Public relation person( though that’s not the job title). We have to 2kids 2 and 4years. I am a lil confused about where to settle. The things that are important to me are: 1. Good neighborhood to raise kids 2. Where we can eventually buy a house 3. Good jobs for both of us 4. Not in the regular Lagos rat race where you cannot save or own a property or traffic for hours 5. Good weather( I know Canada is cold, atleast not to settle in one of the coldest) 6. Where French is not a necessity The more I researched the more confused I get. I will really appreciate your suggestions. Thank you. 1 Like |

armstead: It'd be up to the agent. No situation is black or white. But they like the person to have strong ties to Canada. You're most likely in Nigeria more than Canada. It doesn't look good, personally. |

jelmusboy: I will advice you to get some biscuits, cake, bread etc for the junior. The only thing that looked like food Egypt Air served us was from naija to cairo, when they served us rice. But from Cairo to Toronto, I no challenge their food after the first spoon. I didn't even know what it was. The odour was even repulsive. I think from Cairo to Toronto "food" was served twice, with light snack (biscuits) in between. There was also juice, tea or coffee and water. I had stomach upset from the nonsense I tasted. Thank God I didn't eat much else...lol. Just buy some stuffs you could eat in the plane from naija. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by olajide21: 5:24pm On Nov 24, 2018 |
drcynthia: One adult per child? Never heard anything near this? IMO, board with your family and off you go. What you might want to consider is early check in so you can have a complete roll to your family while others are close by. As for Cheap Airline, ET or Egypt air while serve you. If you are flying from Lagos, try Royal AirMoroc. #graceahead |

olajide21:ok thanks. The thing is all the kids r under 2 yrs. So d rule is one adult can only lap a child....so I am thinking of buying a third seat... |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 6:03pm On Nov 24, 2018 |
drcynthia: Airlines typically do not allow a passenger to be responsible for more than one child under the age of two so they state that any passenger under two must be accompanied by an adult. I now do not know if they would allow you to buy a 3rd seat without the 3rd accompanying adult. Maybe they would make exceptions for special cases e.g. parents with triplets? Who knows? Because how would they expect them to fly? Just thinking aloud..... You should call them and find out. 3 Likes |

Bsbabe: Please in a case of 2 adults and one kid, 2 years and a few months, is it necessary to buy a third seat? Looking to run on a budget. |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 7:23pm On Nov 24, 2018 |
Negotiate: Any child above two years old has to buy his/her own seat so yes, you need 3 seats. A child between 2-11 years old is however paying 75% of your full adult fare. 5 Likes 1 Share |
